Abstract
"Always Already Raped: Whiteness and Captive Womanhood from Mary Rowlandson to the Manson Family" focuses on the false construction of white womanhood as a passive, vulnerable identity through a broad analysis of literature related to whiteness, violence, true crime, and the captivity narrative genre. The project constructs a genealogy beginning with Mary Rowlandson's 1682 captivity narrative and concluding with Ottessa Moshfegh's modern novel, My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018).
